San Bernardino fire burns 5 structures, injures 3 people
A small but fast-moving brush fire broke out in San Bernardino and burned five structures and injured three people.
A spokesman for the San Bernardino County Fire Department said the fire broke out in the northern part of the city Saturday afternoon and quickly spread to about 10 acres before firefighters got a handle of the blaze.
Capt. Jeremy Kern said authorities evacuated homes in the four blocks closest to the fire.
Kern said investigators were trying to determine what kinds of structures were burned and the extent of their damage.
Two firefighters and a civilian were treated for smoke inhalation or heat exhaustion.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
